inspire me

mihir and i have planned to buy a laptop each. we worked together at avi on sat ntie and thats when we decided we would go for it.and we i found a good deal (600$ off the $1699 inspiron coupon), i was sure i was getting one.
the conflict was in which i wanted to buy. there were 3 basic options
the 600m
the 700m and
the 6000
all 3 are inspirons. 700m is the really compact cool version. but it might be too small for me,if i wanted to get some heavy duty applications running. besides i cant add an extra graphics card.the display is the best though. the original love.
then the comprimise would be the 600m. it has all the features of the 700m in size and weight, but i dont likethe screen.it is a regualr one and not the widescreen type.
and then i founf the 6000. it is the larger 15.1' version of the 700m.
here would be the specs id like to buy:
